Chapter 217: I collect ...

Adrian couldn't help wondering how powerful the original crumbling apple was when Jobs returned to Apple. This is one of the reasons why he would have a good relationship with Jobs, Pixar is the second.
But he didn't know why Jobs could return to Apple, and he didn't know why he directed Apple to adjust the direction. Perhaps Pixar's success increased his stack and affected him, but maybe not, who knows?
Of course, just like the famous Hollywood motto: No one is indispensable, and Jobs is not 100% indispensable. If Adrian is placed on Apple, as long as Jonathan Ivey ’s core designers are still there He may not be on par with Jobs, but at least he can achieve 80% of his achievements. Well, this example may not be appropriate. It should be said that if there is no Jobs, or Apple will fall into a slump, or they find a better one to create more brilliant results. The reason why the future is attractive is its Uncertainty.
But this is exactly the situation that Adrian wants to avoid. His greatest advantage is to rely on prophecy, and to avoid butterfly effects over nature is something he always pays attention to. Besides, the apple with Jobs will be a huge cake in the future. Pixar's benefits are a drop in the ocean compared to it. It would be a shame to lose it.
However, if you really choose to split Pixar's rights with Jobs, you may have to bargain with him when integrating the animation in the future. This guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. So, what to do, Adrian had to think about it.
It only took a few days for Adrian to make his own decision.
"You mean, it takes tens of millions to buy a computer animation studio that has been losing money for seven consecutive years and loses more than one million yuan each year?" Opening his study's wine cabinet, Crowder took a bottle from it After the wine and two glasses, he turned around and stared at Adrian while pouring the wine.
"It won't exceed 50 million. Uncle Regget collected some information for me. Just a few weeks ago, Jobs thought about selling it to Microsoft at this price, but Microsoft thought the asking price was too high and didn't accept it. I don't think Jobs is still paying. A higher price will be offered. "Adrian said calmly, took the glass and lifted it up to take a closer look, then shook it a few times and put a deep breath under his nose before closing his eyes. Tasted it.
"Margo in 1983? You really enjoyed it, Crow." He opened his eyes and looked at his dead party in surprise.
"Because I want to entertain you," Claude shrugged, followed by a curious look again. "But how did you taste it for the first time? And you got the year right."
"The bottle is in front of me, and I still know the numbers and phrases above." Adrian pointed to the bottle in his hand.
Crowd opened his mouth suddenly and laughed out of laughter: "Do you think I'm Conan Doyle by taxi?"
Adrian didn't say anything, tasted the red wine again, and looked at Claude again. Claude certainly knew what he meant, and he shook his head and smiled and said, "No problem, I'll contact Jobs."
This time with Adrian's stern look, he settled on Claude for a few seconds before asking in a surprised tone: "Wait, Crow, you said ... you promised ? "
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?" Claude shrugged, "Don't you regret it again?"
"No no no" Adrian waved his hands and looked at him with a rare animal-like eye. "Shouldn't you oppose it? Shouldn't you talk about investment and risk? Shouldn't you try to dispel my thoughts?"
"Yes, I did think so at the beginning. Although I thought that computer animation was promising after collecting some information and consulting some professionals, I spent so much money to buy a continuous loss for several years. The studio is not wise, "Crowder said with a gesture." But, thinking about it, I have vetoed your proposal several times in a row. If this happens again, my position is likely to be lost. , So ... I compromised. "
Adrian's mouth twitched with that irritating look, but he quickly held his own, and waved his hands to reveal a very hurt and anxious look: "How can you do this, Crow, you should continue to stick to the principle, you should continue Oppose, continue to convince me not to take such a big risk "
"Hey, what's going on? Why do you want me to agree when I disagree, and you don't want me to agree when I agree?" Claude looked at him somehow.
"Because I had already planned it, you would disrupt my plan like this." Adrian put down his wine glass and spread his hands, and explained it without waiting for Crowder to ask: "I have proposed several times before You know, you are very likely to oppose this acquisition, because you are always very stable in these things. So I prepared early, and after you vetoed, let Uncle Regert buy it for me in my private name. Pixar. Then wait for Pixar to fly into the sky and integrate it into the media to further squeeze your 25% share. "
"You actually counted me like this" Claude looked at him in a shocked look.
"Hey, how can you speak like this, I have already discussed it with you, but you rejected the proposal, and of course I had to pay for it myself." Adrian raised his hand innocently. "It's normal. Business practices. "
"But I've agreed now, and you asked me to veto it, isn't that calculation and what?" Claude said awkwardly.
"Have you ever seen everything like that ... hey ... calculate it? You are ... hey ... idiot ... I warn you, Crow, if you do this, I will be unkind to you" Adri Ann reached for Crowder's fist, frowning and warning.
"Really, boy?" Claude jumped up and fisted at him, "Would you like to make two strokes?"
At this moment, Adrian couldn't help but hesitated slightly, and some of the pictures suddenly flashed from his mind. He knew that it was his own memory, but he had previously boxed with Claude several times in a private club. , But now there is an inexplicable emotion spreading from my heart, although it only disappears after a few seconds, but ...
Suddenly Adrian laughed, and jumped up. He pulled a button on the neckline and waved to Claude. "Come over if you want to be beaten."
"I'm so confident, Ed," Claude tempted with a few punches. "I'm going to beat you effortlessly. If not, it's in my study, if I'm not without a fist. If you do, you lie ... "
With a splash, Claude fell to the ground, and Adrian, who fisted hard, took a good step because of his strength, and then looked at Claude with his head in his arms, smirking.
"You're still like this, nothing has changed, my fist hasn't touched you yet," he said shyly.
"Do you want me to lie down until you hit it? You guy who doesn't play light or heavy." Crowd sat up and said, "Nothing now ..."
Suddenly he closed his mouth. Adrian first froze, and immediately understood what he was worrying about, and couldn't help but smile freely: "It doesn't matter, you can at least tell my godfather."
"Don't mention that, my father would only let me fight back with my fist." Claude stood up lazily.
The two reached out and punched each other, then looked at each other and smiled. Some things need not be said for the dead.
"How about finding a chance to play two rounds completely on the stage?" Crowder said back to his chair.
"No problem, to be accompanied at any time." Adrian, who also sat back in his chair, clapped his hands and agreed.
"So that's it, I'll get in touch with Jobs as soon as possible," Crowder pulled the subject back, "the bottom line is that you must get Pixar, right?"
"Yes." Adrian nodded. "It would be better for you to come and negotiate with him personally, to show our importance, and to Steve Jobs, I am sure we will get more from him."
"As you wish." Claude raised his hands, and then thought of something smirking. "Well, if nothing unexpected happens, we will soon get the ownership of Pixar. You can't use that method anymore. It's up to me. "
"Sorry, I have already prepared Uncle Regget to buy the Silicon and Neural Key Studio, so I have a chance." Adrian said with a sneer.
"You're so confident?" Crowd raised an eyebrow.
"Wait and see, Crow." Adrien laughed, "How about opening a good bottle of wine to celebrate?"
"Drink the opened bottle before talking." Crowder held up the bottle in his hand.
"That's unbelievable, you have a lot of good wines, how can you use Margol of 83 years to perfuse me," Adrian said for a moment, thinking, "it's better to put that bottle of 1784 Diqin winery Open the white wine. "
"Don't even think about the collectibles that can only be viewed, if you drink them, it will smash the heavens," Crowder shouted,
"Don't drink it is a violent convergence ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Adrian grunted, but then waved his hand:" Okay, okay, I don't fight your collection idea. "
He didn't really pay attention to the bottle, but just took the opportunity to tease Claude. Collectibles are, in a sense, more like loot and more used for display. For example, those who like to collect famous paintings or antiques always like to show these things in front of guests. Even ordinary people will collect stamps or other things. Many animals also have this custom, and humans are all higher animals.
"I remember you used to collect cars, but now you don't seem interested?" Crowder asked suddenly.
"Yes, it's shifted." Adrian nodded.
"What's in the collection now?" Claude asked with interest.
Adrian wanted to say nothing, but a thought suddenly came out of his mind.
"I am now ..." he said slowly, looking at the cup with the dark red light in his hand, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Favorite Woman" ()
